Your floors are protected throughout Step 3: Pre-spray and Pre-spot (if required) A preconditioning agent is applied to break down soil and other spots for a more thorough cleaning. Step 4: Extract and Rinse Once the soil has been loosened, our Twin Vac, High Powered hot water extraction cleaning process will thoroughly flush your fabric with ShearDry™ technology. Pressure and heat are regulated to prevent the fabric from being over-wet.
Step 5: Post Spot Treatment (if required) If any spots are not removed during the cleaning process, speciality spotting techniques are employed. Step 6: Protection is added (optional) A fluorocarbon, water or solvent based, stain and soil repellent that protects upholstery against oil and water based stains and repels dry soil thus improving the sofa /chair’s appearance after vacuuming.
